Any suggestions on how to do that? Asking for a friend

A bit more detail: https://njal.la/ accepts cryptocurrency.

I like njalla. Would be nice to see some others taking their approach. Anyone know of others that embrace the idea that one should be able to register a domain name anonymously?

Buy with cryptocurrency, make sure your coins are not traceable to you. Domains can be bought on njal.la, NameCheap, EasyDNS and many others. Hosting can be bought on Simafri, Accu, and many many others. Make sure you use Tor and VPN and NoScript throughout.

I had not heard of Simafri. Looks good actually.

It's true that you need a hosting provider in addition to a domain name. It's good to discuss privacy-enhancing domain name registrars and privacy-enhancing VPS providers in the same breath.

When I explored something like this, there was webtorrent but that only allowed you to peer with other webtorrent clients.

Can you explain a little bit more about the tech stack behind it and how you got around this limitation? Are you connecting to other regular bittorrent users?

Because?

Copyright holders sue you (scare tactics, go to local pirate party for legal assistance)

Ah, I thought you had something special to add about the use of JS based torrent tools in Europe; yes, using tools for unlawful purposes is unlawful.

I keep getting "Sorry the file format is not supported!" Could you provide some examples? And also, will my browser be streaming or is your server acting as a proxy?

Solved! Server Acting as Proxy

Not solved. Still getting the error.

I've never gotten a single letter here in glorious central Europe. The ISP probably just bins them right away since there is no legal obligation to do anything with them.

depends on the country. If I remember correctly france is worst with some 3-strike law.

Does anyone have a convenient example to test this with? I tried Big Buck Bunny (info hash a3fbda1961fbc908026ec7cc4569d5fbef840c1e) but got "Sorry the file format is not supported!". EDIT: And a few minutes later, Firefox locked up and crashed. I hope this isn't malware.

solved! Server went down

This still isn't solved. Why do you keep saying it's solved?
